A Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Method in Characterization of Blood Metabolomics for Alzheimer's Disease.

ABSTRACT: There is currently a crucial need for improved diagnostic techniques and targeted treatment methods for Alzheimer's disease (AD), a disease which impacts millions of elderly individuals each year. Metabolomic analysis has been proposed as a potential methodology to better investigate and understand the progression of this disease. In this report, we present our AD metabolomics results measured with high resolution magic angle spinning (HRMAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) on human blood plasma samples obtained from AD and non-AD subjects. Our study centers on developments of AD and non-AD metabolomics differentiating models with procedures of quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) through pooled samples. Our findings suggest that analysis of blood plasma samples using HRMAS NMR has the potential to differentiate between diseased and healthy subjects, which has important clinical implications for future improvements in AD diagnosis methodologies.

Project description:Background and objectiveWe evaluated the metabolomic profile in CSF, serum and urine of participants with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) compared to controls and measured changes in metabolism associated with clinical markers of disease activity and treatment.MethodsA case-control study compared women aged 18-55 years with active IIH (Friedman diagnostic criteria), to a sex, age and body mass index matched control group. IIH participants were identified from neurology and ophthalmology clinics from National Health Service hospitals and underwent a prospective intervention to induce disease remission through weight loss with re-evaluation at 12 months. Clinical assessments included lumbar puncture, headache, papilledema and visual measurements. Spectra of CSF, serum and urine metabolites were acquired utilizing proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.ResultsUrea was lower in IIH (CSF; controls median ±IQR 0.196 ±0.008, IIH 0.058 ±0.059, p<0.001, urine; controls 5971.370 ±3021.831, IIH 4691.363 ±1955.774, p=0.009), correlated with ICP (urine p=0.019) and headache severity (CSF p=0.031) and increased by 12 months (CSF 12 months; 0.175 ±0.043, p=0.004, urine; 5210.874 ±1825.302, p=0.043). The lactate:pyruvate ratio was increased compared to controls (CSF; controls 49.739 ±19.523, IIH 113.114 ±117.298, p=0.023, serum; controls 38.187 ±13.392, IIH 54.547 ±18.471, p=0.004) and decreased at 12 months (CSF; 113.114 ±117.298, p<0.001). Baseline acetate was higher in IIH (CSF; controls 0.128 ±0.041, IIH 0.192 ±0.151, p=0.008), correlated with headache severity (p = 0.030) and headache disability (p = 0.003) and was reduced at 12 months (0.160 ±0.060, p = 0.007). Ketones 3-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate were altered in CSF at baseline in IIH (3-hydroxybutyrate; controls 0.074 ±0.063, IIH 0.049 ±0.055, p = 0.019, acetoacetate; controls 0.013 ±0.007, IIH 0.017 ±0.010, p = 0.013) and normalized at 12 months (0.112 ±0.114, p = 0.019, 0.029 ±0.017, p = 0.015 respectively).DiscussionWe observed metabolic disturbances that are evident in CSF, serum and urine of IIH participants, suggesting global metabolic dysregulation. Altered ketone body metabolites normalized following therapeutic weight loss. CSF:serum urea ratio was altered which may influence ICP dynamics and headache. Elevated CSF acetate, known to stimulate trigeminal sensitization, was associated with headache morbidity. These alterations of metabolic pathways specific to IIH provide biological insight and warrants mechanistic evaluation.
